📌 Placement Recommendation:
Rescue only. Best suited for an experienced handler or rescue group familiar with fear-based behaviors. Low-energy, calm dogs recommended as companions.

🔹 Initial Interaction:
Gohan greeted the runner with a neutral demeanor but became barrier-reactive (lunging, barking, muzzle punching). After a pet corrector was used, he settled but stayed tense. With a slow, patient approach, he was leashed and exited the kennel calmly with a slight pull.
🔹 Play Yard Behavior:
Once in the yard, Gohan displayed relaxed body language 🐶 ? soft eyes, gentle tail wag, and natural ears. He interacted well with other dogs, showing a dainty, gentle play style and a preference for calm companions. He engaged in brief play and enjoyed roaming and sniffing around 🌿.
🔹 Handling & Assessment:
Gohan showed wariness around handlers 😟, occasionally giving a defensive bark and retreating. With gentle coaxing, he allowed limited petting. During the physical assessment, he remained slightly tense but allowed full handling (ears, mouth, body, tail) without incident 🩺.
🔹 Needs & Recommendations:
💛 Continued socialization
🐕 Calm, respectful dog companions
🧘‍♂️ Slow, structured introductions
💪 Confidence building through positive reinforcement
